Ch 4

Jessy

He felt pain all over and a headache…

What happened? 

Jessy opened his eyes as he reached up to massage his throbbing temple. “ am I getting sick? “

He thought to himself and slowly he sat up. His eyes were still foggy but as they cleared he stared at the soft blanket covering him .. “ did mom upgrade the sheets??” 

Wait .. 

What time is it? 

Jessy rubbing his eyes looked to the side searching for his phone. But what he saw was a man in all black standing with his hands in his pockets looking at him with piercing blue eyes.

..

The monster..

It wasn’t a dream ??

Jessy felt his heart stop for a second and then started beating so fast as if it would explode the nest second. His hands on the sheets tightened so much that his nails dug through his palms. 

He felt his stomach flip and he could not stop the shaking in his whole body.

It was not a dream ..

His lips trembled and fat tears rolled down his wide-open eyes as he stared at the monster that kidnaped him and killed Dave

Dave ..

Dave Was dead … 

Jessy stared at the monster waiting … 

“Will he eat me ? “

“I want to see Mom and Dad one last time ..”

This is it …

—-

Deamon 

—- 

daemon stared at his terrified mate staring at him with wide eyes as he cried silently. 

He was scared .. his mate was certified and trembling in terror .. 

Deamon felt pain in his heart as if thousands of needles pierced his heart 

He swallowed the lump in his throat and clinched his fists hard as he hid them in his pockets. 

This was for the best ..

This was a good choice.

He kept repeating the words trying desperately to convince himself that he didn’t doom himself to an eternity of torture.

He cleared his throat and saw the poor boy jump out of his skin and back to the wall like a trapped rabbit.

< I am not going to hurt you Jessy ..> he tried hard to smile 

It is better if his mate keeps fearing him .. he won’t run away like this ..

< actually even Dave is fine !> he said as he walked back to the corner where there was a chair. Giving Jessy more space.

He flipped down and smirked < if you’re a good boy .. I may even send him back home> 

< ..>

Nothing .. Jessy was back flat against the wall sweat dripping from his face and tears rolling his cheek just stared at him with the same terrified expression.

This is for the best ..

Deamon didn’t pull his hand off his pocket, he didn’t want Jessy to them bloody.

“Huh .. too late for that ..” 

Damon mocked himself.

< here hos things are going to be. You’re mine now … if you’re good when Dave wakes up I will send him home, with clean memory of course! Ah magic if you’re curious, we have a very talented witsh apprentice in the family. ..> as he realized he was nervous shattering daemon closed his mouth and stood up which made Jessy flinch again < if you’re good … I will not hurt anyone else ..that’s the deal > 

He approached the bed and Jessy visibly stiffed even more. Frowning Damon pointed to the tablet resting on the nightstand beside the bed < push the button to see the human ..> he said and waited for his mate to do so.

Jessy

Dave is alive ???

Jessy slowly reached to the button and kept his eyes on the monster .. 

Dave can go home? 

Like a small creature corned by a predator, he slowly and carefully pushed the button but kept glancing back at the monster just in case it snaps

The screen lit up and a photo of Dave sleeping showed up .. no video .. he realized..

Nanny cam? 

He saw the name of the brand in the corner ..

Dave was alive ?? 

Was this a trick ??

 No … why would this monster even bother ..

He .. did say he wanted him willing .. 

Willing ??

Tears fell again 

< can ..> With a shocked voice so small that was hardly audible Jessy asked < can I go home ?> 

..

Silence 

< no > 

Jessy couldn’t help but sniff as sobs broke out ..

The monster didn’t react ..

And then 

< ask what you want to know … I will answer them all >

Jessy sniffed and stared at the monster just standing there waiting ..

< is .. is Dave really alive ? > 

< yes>

< he .. he was badly hurt .. is he really ok ?> 

< yes .. a witch used magic to heal him > 

< w.. w.. witch ?? >

< yes … magic exists.. you saw .. what I can do .. you saw the humanoid creature outside ..magic is real. Dave is ok…>

Magic ???

Jessy was so confused he felt dizzy.. 

But Dave was alive ..

That’s good ..

< anything else you want to know? > the monster said and Jessy looked up at it him. 

< why are you doing this ?> Jessy asked in an accusing manner without even realizing it 

<..> The monster was silent for a bit and then answered < I am a hellhound... My job is to keep the human and the other realms separated. We live for militias unless killed..>

He can die !!! But he looked so strong.. Jessy wondered ..maybe .. maybe I can ..

< the gods blessed us with mates to keep us company throughout this ..> the other party continued.

And Jessy squezed his hands .. hope .. he felt hope knowing this thing could die ..

< this ..this doesn’t explain anything ..> Jessy said in a mall voice when the other finished talking.

< you’re my mate Jessy.> 

< mate ?>

< husband, partner, spouse,… lover ..> 

< what ?! But… I do not want to .. can’t you just find someone else?> Jessy asked desperately 

The other didn’t answer for long minutes this time 

“ Oh no .. is he angry .. will he hurt me ..” 

< you don’t have a choice ..> came a firm voice < is that all ?? >

Shit .. he is angry .. shit .. shit .. never provoked the predators I should know that much ..

The monster turned and walked to the door but Jessy found the courage to ask one last question 

< are you …  will you ..> the other stopped and turned waiting 

Jessy swallowed..< are you going to rape me ?> he asked in terror.
